Making An Adjustable Ring

This short tutorial shows you one easy way to adapt a ring band for someone who has enlarged knuckles so they have less problems getting a ring that works for them. In future videos I will show some other adaptations that can work as well. I run into many folks whose finger joints are swollen from Arthritis or some other reason who are grateful for a ring they can wear. If you find it helpful or interesting, please give it a like! If you'd like to see more useful videos like this, please subscribe to my channel:). It would be great if you would share this with others who might find it useful. Ring the bell so you get notifications when I upload a new video.

You're welcome David! Here's another about adjustable ring types: ruclips.net/video/6ebdqk0sZws/видео.html

[@mariettagilway6637]

Thank you for doing this video, it's hard to tell what size to make rings for different people and this helps solve the dilemma for a little up or down.

[@chadssilversmithing]

You’re welcome Marietta! I’m glad it was useful to you. Thank you for the comment and for watching:)

[@mckinneykathy6]

Thanks.

[@chadssilversmithing]

You're welcome Kathy!

[@patredden4557]

Great video, thanks.

[@chadssilversmithing]

You’re welcome Pat. Thanks for the comment!

[@kes19754]

You could also solder the opposite end and just have it adjustable from the bottom.

[@chadssilversmithing]

Good point Katie!

[@sandragravesande8657]

Great info….I’m enjoying ur vids

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thank you Sandra. I appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching:)

[@kimdimaggio6268]

What a great idea! Look forward to other styles. What gauge wire did you use for band?

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Kim. I used 8 gauge half-round wire for this one. I sometimes use one of the narrower low-dome half-round wires as well. I appreciate the kind comments!

[@argonabis]

What’s the wire you are using for the ring band?

[@chadssilversmithing]

Pretty sure I used 8 gauge half round for that one Joy:). Newer videos I started listing the materials in the video descriptions. Sorry these earlier videos lack that!

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thank you Gabriela!

[@wendykosier7110]

What gage wire did you use for this ring?

[@chadssilversmithing]

Hello Wendy! I believe it was 8 gauge half round. I also have used 6 gauge before:)

[@shereefrankcombe4308]

Can I please ask about your flux, what sort is it to be spraying it on to you pieces thanks

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks for the question! I use My-T-Flux which I get from Rio Grande. Take care:)

[@Gazz_R]

Great idea and well executed! Thanks for sharing and have a fantastic week.

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Gazz! I wish I could take credit for this idea, but it is an old technique I saw somewhere years ago:). You have a nice week too!
